What a week it has been! We have a refrigerator bursting with apples and apple sauce from last weekend’s orchard adventure and two humans too tired to consume them. It has been a week. Recovery is on the horizon though and I could not be more excited. Mr. Pedantic and I may have just booked a trip for December and those electronic airline tickets represent a much needed respite from life.
Three words. Three very important, possibly life-changing words, Peppermint Bark Oreos. Ohhh yes.
This woman was and is my spirit animal. Green bean casserole will always be my favorite part of Thanksgiving. Yes, even over the turkey. I am obsessed. And though I proudly make Alton Brown’s non-canned version (I mean, of course I do), I will never turn down a green bean casserole of any origin.
Is it pathetic that I am dying to purchase one of these subscriptions for my dog for Christmas? Don’t answer that.
I discovered this makeup brand at Sephora last week and was trying to purchase this balm in Werk as a blush, but they were sold out in store and online. I am keeping my eye on it though. Have any of you tried it? I love their policies and that so many of their products are multi-purpose.
What are your plans for this last October weekend? I cannot believe how fast this month has gone. I’ve got a unicorn cake to bake and at least one very messy burger to consume. Happy Friday!!
Sincerely,
Pedantic Foodie
A tale of recipe conception…
It had been a long day and all I really wanted was some quality couch time with the Bon Appetit test kitchen. Whatever plans I had in mind for dinner were soon diminished by more slothful desires for all things lazy and cozy.
In our home, with new “favorites” constantly being developed, sampled, and savored, many much-loved recipes never find their way back onto our plates. But, every-so-often, a recipe gains instant “repeat” status and is thrown into a sacred category all its own, to be fished out of the archives over and over again. This elite status is not earned by mere deliciousness, since I would attribute that title to all of the recipes I share, but by an uninterpretable algorithm which balances comfort, ease, singularity and pure delight. It’s a science.
I am coming to you with a weekend project that is as delightful to make as it is to eat.
Sure, I might be a little bias considering that few things bring me as much joy as kneading, rolling, and manipulating dough into plump little golden loaves, but truly, this project is a fun one!
Before the generation of iPhones and Pinteresty chalkboard signs, my siblings and I had one very special back-to-school tradition.
There are many different varieties of wonderful weekends. Some require planning, some derive their pleasure from spontaneity, but nearly all of my favorite weekends include a hearty breakfast.
